NOTE: If the VS-1213 V-Stab Tip Fairing has already been riveted to the top of the V-Stab Assembly, it be will necessary to
drill out the rivets securing the fairing.
Step 1: Separate the F-00205 Nutplate Spacer
into the F-00205 Shim, K1000 Drill Temp, and
MS20151 Drill Temp by cutting along the lines
shown in Figure 1.
Step 2: Cleco the MS21051 Drill Temp to the
aft-most hole in the VS-1213. Match-drill #40 the
holes into the VS-1213 as shown in Figure 2.
Repeat for the opposite side.
Step 3: Cleco the K1000 Drill Temp to the
remaining #30 holes in the VS-1213, then
match-drill #40 the holes into the VS-1213 as
shown in Figure 2.
Repeat for the opposite side.
Step 4: Machine countersink (flush outside) all #40
holes just match-drilled into the VS-1213 for an
AN426AD3 rivet. See Figure 2.
Step 5: Final-drill #27, then machine-countersink all
#30 holes in the VS-1213. See Figure 2.
Step 6: Rivet the nutplates onto the inside of the VS-1213 as shown in Figure 2.
Step 7: Final-drill #27 all holes in the VS-1201 Main Skin which are above the VS-1205 Tip Rib. See Figure 3.
Step 8: Dimple all #27 holes for #6 screws as shown in Figure 3.

Step 2: Match-Drill #30 the forward and aft-most holes in the F-00203 into the web of the VS-1205. Cleco each hole before drilling
the next. See Figure 1.
Step 3: Use a permanent marker through the #27 holes in the F-00203 to mark the VS-1205 as shown in Figure 1.
Step 4: Remove the clecos and the F-00203 from the VS-1205.
Step 5: Drill #30 a hole near the aft two lightening holes in the VS-1205 as shown in Figure 1.

Step 6: Machine countersink the #40 holes in the F-00203 as shown in Figure 2.
Step 7: Rivet the nutplates to the bottom of the F-00203 as shown in Figure 2.
Step 8: Using the marks made in Step 3 as a starting point, trim away the inside edge of the lightening hole in the VS-1205 to clear
the nutplates installed under the F-00203. See the hatched area in Figure 2.
Thoroughly deburr these notches once they have reached final size.
Step 9: Rivet the F-00203 to the VS-1205 as shown in Figure 2.
Step 10: Cleco the K1000 Drill Temp to the #30 hole in the VS-1205
then match drill #40 the holes as shown in Figure 2.
Step 11: Remove the cleco and K1000 Drill Temp from the VS-1205,
then final drill the #30 hole in the VS-1205 to #12. See Figure 1.
Step 12: Machine countersink the #40 holes in the F-00205 Shim as shown in Figure 3.
Step 13: Fabricate the F-00206 AV-532 Spacer as
shown in Figure 4.

Step 1: Position the ES-00301 on the aft-most lightening hole as shown in Figure 1, then match-drill #30 the rivet hole into the
VS-1205.
Step 2: Rivet the ES-00301 to the VS-1205 with the hardware shown in Figure 1. A small dab of superglue can be used to hold the
washer to the bottom of the VS-1205 if necessary.
Step 3: Rivet the F-00205 Shim and the nutplate onto the VS-1205 as shown in Figure 1.
Step 4: Temporarily secure the F-00206 and AV-532L Antenna on to the VS-1205 with the fasteners shown in Figure 1.
Step 5: Mark the longitudinal position of the AV-532L Antenna elements on the VS-1201 as
shown in Figure 1.
Step 6: Measure the vertical height of the AV-532L Antenna element
above the top edge of the VS-1201 as shown in Figure 1 and record
the value.
Remove the AV-532L from the V-Stab Assembly.
Step 7: Temporarily install the VS-1213 onto the V-Stab
Assembly with #6 screws as shown in Figure 1.
Step 8: Transfer the positioning marks made in Step 5 from
the VS-1201 to the VS-1213.
Measure and mark the height of the AV-532L Antenna
element onto the VS-1213.
NOTE: The notch cut in Step 9 should be smoothly
radiused at the top (approx 1/8 in. [1.6 mm] radius).
Step 9: Remove the VS-1213 from the V-Stab
Assembly and cut a notch in the VS-1213 from the
antenna element positioning marks, down to the
lower edge of the VS-1213.
Ensure adequate clearance around the antenna
elements to allow for vibration of the elements
as shown in the Detail View in Figure 1.

Step 1: Drill #19 a hole in the VS-1208 Rib at the location shown in Figure 1.
Step 2: Fabricate the F-00204 Nav Antenna Conduit by cutting a piece of NT Duct 5/8 to a length of of 44 1/2 in. [113 cm].
Step 3: Route the F-00204 through the aft-most set of lightening holes in the ribs of the V-Stab Assembly. See Figure 2.
Step 4: Secure the F-00204 to the ES-00301 on the top of the V-Stab Assembly.
The F-00204 should extend approximately 1/4 in. [6.4 mm] past the ES-00301. See Figure 2.
Step 5: Secure the bottom of the F-00204 to the VS-1208 using two crossing tie-wraps through the hole in the VS-1208 as
shown in Figure 2.

Step 1: Drill #30 a hole in the center of the inboard flange of the F-1238-R as the location shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: When positioning and securing the AV-532L cable in the following steps, ensure that the AV-532L cable is not
rubbing on the sharp edge of of the F-1279-R Upper Right Skin stiffener, and is clear of all control cables.
Step 2: Route the AV-532L cable through the snap bushing in the F-1278.
Step 3: With the AV-532L cable extending outside the tailcone as shown, secure the AV-532L cable to the F-1238-R with a
tie-wrap. See Figure 1.
Step 4: Route the AV-532L cable from the F-1238-R to the stiffener of the F-1281-R Lower Skin. Cover the stiffener edge with a
F-1257B where the cable enters the stiffener.
Step 5: Secure the AV-532L cable and F-1257B to the stiffener of the F-1281-R with a tie-wrap
as shown in Figure 1.

Step 1: Route the AV-532L cable up the F-1281-R stiffener, passing through the lightening holes in each of each fuselage frame
as shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: Airframes with dual pass through holes in the F-01202B-1 should route the AV-532L cable through the foremost
hole.
Step 2: Following the path of the WH-00136 forward of the
F-01207C-L, route the AV-532L cable forward through the airframe
and up through the wire pass-through hole in the F-01202B-1 as
shown in Figure 1.
Step 3: Install the F-1257Bs onto the F-1281-R stiffener to
protect the AV-532L cable at all points where the cable
enters/exits the stiffener. See the Detail View of Figure 1.
Step 4: Cut 3 strips of MS21266 grommet to 4 3/8 in. [111.1mm] to fabricate the F-00217s.
Step 5: Install the F-00217s into the fuselage frames as shown in the Detail View of Figure 1.
Step 6: Once the entire AV-532L cable has been routed and positioned correctly, secure the
AV-532L cable to the F-1281-R stiffener with tie-wraps as shown.

Step 1: Reinstall the V-Stab Assembly to the airframe, while simultaneously routing the AV-532L cable
through the F-00204. See Figure 1.
A piece of safety wire passed through the F-00204 prior to reassembly can be used to pull the
AV-532L cable up through the F-00204 if necessary.
Step 2: Connect the ring terminals on the end of the AV-532L cable onto the studs of the AV-532L
antenna with the included fasteners as shown in Figure 2.
Step 3: Clasp the cushion clamp over the AV-532L cable and secure the cushion clamp to t he F-00205
relieving any strain on the ring terminals. See Figure 2.
Step 4: Reinstall the VS-1213 onto the V-stab assembly as shown in Figure 3.

near the GMU 11. The GMU 11 is very sensitive and
may be influenced by any magnetized hardware.
Step 1: Install the GMU 11 to the F-00142 GMU 11 Attach
Plate as shown in Figure 1.
Step 2: Mount the F-00142 to the F-00009-L & -R ADAHRS
Brackets in the upper tailcone skins as shown in Figure 2.
Ensure the GMU 11 connector is facing aft.
Step 3: Connect the 9-pin d-sub connector labeled
"MAGNETOMETER" from the WH-00136 to the GMU 11.

Step 4: If necessary, disconnect and discard the F-00013 Static Line Tee-ADAHRS from the F Plastic Tee and F-00014 Static Line
Tee Upsize. See Section 10iS/U and the detail view in Figure 3.
Step 5: Connect the Aft Pitot Line to the F Plastic Tee using the F-00014 as described in Section 10iS/U. If necessary, trim the Aft
Pitot Line as required to prevent interference or chafing on the surrounding structure.
Ensure there are no kinks in the Aft Pitot Line. See Section 10iS/U and the detail view in Figure 3.
